The above is a good list for freeware software, however these are my recommendations.

AVG Free

AVG free is a good anti-virus tool for people looking for a free alternative to costly software. Recommended for home desktop users.

Link

AdAware

AdAware by lavasoft is a free tool for removing adware and spyware from your computer. Good free tool, very useful and recommended.

Link

Spybot - Search and Destroy

Spybot - S & D is also another good one for spyware and adware. Completely free ware highly recommended.

Link

If you have anything to add please PM me. I'm very aware that there are tons more however those 3 programs should do the trick.

You may want to add HijackThis, Malwarebytes AntiMalware, Avira, and Avast to those as well. But stil great post and great list!

Great job kuma.lk! I would like to recommend AVG anti-virus. It works fine for me.

Nice list
Thanks !

It's a spambot. It had a fake signature. Odds are, some of the links aren't legit either.
